        I agree, since SGs are a GNSO construct and so while it may be useful 
for the other SOs to each send a rep, for us having SG reps may be more 
appropriate.

        Cheers

Councillors, 

Further to this, in so far as each GNSO SG wants to put a candidate forward, it 
may not be necessary for the Council to also put one forward. But that is of 
course open to discussion. Thoughts anyone?

                Objet : [soac-discussion] Form a Focus Group to Provide 
Feedback on Proposed Public Comment Constructs 
                


                Dear Community Leaders,

                

                I communicated to you in Singapore that we would like to 
receive your support in forming a Focus Group to provide some initial feedback 
on two specific Public Comment implementation proposals relating to ATRT 
Recommendations 15, 16 and 17.   

                This email is intended to provide additional details to help 
you in identifying individuals to participate in this activity.  

                Purpose:  To help ICANN Staff assess the usability and 
viability of certain implementation constructs related to the Public Comment 
process as recommended by the ATRT. 

                Team Members: We would prefer to keep the Focus Group 
relatively small and are therefore requesting one representative from of each 
ICANN SO, AC or SG.  

                Methodology:  Due to the challenges in scheduling telephone 
calls/meetings and considering the nature of the topics/questions, our plan is 
that the group will interact and collaborate via a dedicated space within 
ICANN's Confluence Wiki environment.  Details (e.g., links, login information) 
will be sent to the volunteers separately.  At this time, no meetings are 
planned. 

                Duration:  We anticipate that the feedback period will last one 
month from 20 July through 19 August at which point the dedicated Wiki space 
will be closed.  

                Content: ICANN Staff will outline two current proposals to the 
Focus Group and collect initial feedback (via the Wiki).  The two specific 
topics that the Focus Group's will be asked to provide feedback are:

                Topic 1:  Stratification/Prioritization of Public Comments

                Topic 2. Comment/Reply Structure for Public Comments

                Scope: The Focus Group will be asked specific questions 
concerning the topics listed above and feedback/responses will be collected via 
the Wiki. The ATRT Recommendations have been reviewed by the ICANN Community 
and approved by the ICANN Board; therefore, the Focus Group will not be asked 
to validate the ATRT Recommendations themselves.

                Outcomes:  The Wiki collaboration and discussion threads will 
be used by Staff to inform its planning concerning the implementation topics 
listed above. Staff does not plan to issue any written reports or summaries of 
the Focus Group's deliberations; however, the Wiki may be opened for public 
read access once the work is completed.  Elements of the feedback may be 
incorporated into a formal Public Comment solicitation that will deal with 
these same topics circa September 2011.  

                I hope you find the above information helpful in identifying 
and selecting candidates to help with this feedback process.

                We hope to hear back from you with one volunteer contact detail 
from your group latest by 13 July 2011, in order to start the activity as 
outlined above.

                Kind regards, 

                Filiz Yilmaz
